School spirit is great for sports and club events, but we do have a bit of a problem when it comes to responsible teachers who know the content. Most cannot effectively teach and make students comprehend the material.

I am a senior at Grant High School. I entered my freshman year in 2020 to my utter disappointment. I had been looking forward to high school for forever, but the lack of good education, good teachers, resources, and edible food at this school was crushing.

Most of the teachers are very under qualified and aren't able to teach the classes or courses available, and the school does not prepare us for college. Most students come out very under educated and not able to perform highly in college. The average ACT is between 18-21.

Some teachers are somewhat good but most only care about getting the job done so they can g...

Grant cares deeply about the students it serves, regardless of the talent level of the child. While most departments at the school are outstanding, the Army JROTC Department has added a significant level of success in helping students achieve higher goals. The Grant Parish school system gets huge ba...
